Beyond Surface Tension: Polarity-Governed Liquid Repellency of Siloxane Finish

Abstract Industry-standard textile liquid repellency tests, including AATCC TM118 for non-polar oils and AATCC TM193 for polar water/isopropanol (IPA) mixtures, classified performance primarily according to liquid surface tension (γLV). In this study, we systematically compared t...

The effects of a multimodal intervention for optimising sleep and internalising symptoms in young adults during British Army Infantry Basic Training.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: We assessed the effectiveness of a multimodal sleep intervention on subjective sleep outcomes, including insomnia symptoms, with secondary analysis of internalising symptoms in Infantry trainees. METHODS: A two-arm parallel design was employed (baseline: weeks 1...

Evaluating spectral unmixing techniques using imaging spectroscopy data for retrieval of green, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and soil fractional cover

Estimates of fractional cover of green vegetation (GV), non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV), and soil provide valuable information about the Earth system. As the new generation of Earth visible-to-shortwave infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectrometers take orbit, global fractional cove...

Long-Term Career and Healthcare Impacts of Hip/Pelvic Bone Stress Injuries Sustained During Basic Combat Training: A Case-Control Study in Graduates

Background: Hip and pelvic bone stress injuries (BSIs) represent a small but clinically significant subset of overuse injuries sustained during U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). However, the long-term military service and healthcare implications remain unclear. This study ex...

Epithelial inclusion cyst at de‐epithelialized gingival graft site: A cautionary case study

Abstract Background Multiple palatal graft harvesting techniques are available for clinicians providing root coverage and gingival augmentation procedures. However, existing research does not establish the risk of epithelial inclusion‐related sequelae for each graft type. Hypothe...

Assessing spatial heterogeneity of active layer thickness over Arctic-foothills tundra, North Slope Alaska

Abstract. Changes in active layer thickness (ALT) are used as an indicator of permafrost degradation. Increases in ALT can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, altered hydrology and ecology, ground instability, and a positive climate feedback. Quantifying ALT spatial heter...
